EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a Roman bas-relief, known as the Frieze with Triumphal Roman Eagle. Located in the atrium of the Basilica of Ss. Apostoli in Rome, this ancient artwork dates back to the 1st or 2nd century AD. The image showcases a magnificent eagle, symbolizing power and victory, perched atop an ornate pedestal. The craftsmanship is impeccable, with every feather meticulously carved into the stone. The eagle's wings are outstretched wide, exuding a sense of grandeur and majesty. The composition is further enhanced by its surroundings within the basilica's atrium. Soft rays of sunlight filter through arches overhead, casting gentle shadows that accentuate each contour and crevice on this remarkable piece of art. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1890, we are transported back in time to witness Europe's rich ancient civilization firsthand. It serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression that has endured for centuries. Intriguingly enough, birds have always held symbolic significance across cultures throughout history – representing freedom, strength, and divine connection. This regal eagle exemplifies these qualities perfectly while also embodying Rome's imperial might during its heyday. Anderson from Alinari has masterfully captured not only an exquisite work of art but also a glimpse into our collective past. Through his lens, we can appreciate both the technical brilliance behind this low relief sculpture and its historical context within one frame. This print invites us to marvel at the beauty created by our ancestors while reminding us that their legacy lives on through these tangible remnants from antiquity.
